This advert is trying to guilt me

Filed in: Internet.

Every time I got to check my Yahoo! mail now, this advert is totally trying to guilt me. It's like:

<advert> If you love animals, help free them from cruelty.
* Alden ignores the advertising as usual.
<advert> YOU HATE ANIMALS! WHY DO YOU HATE ANIMALS?! WHAT KIND OF A PERSON ARE YOU?!
<Alden> WARGH! WTF?
<advert> LOOK AT THIS DOG! ISN'T IT CUTE?! WHY DO YOU HATE IT?!
<Alden> *mutter*

I don't hate animals, and I'm sure the WSPA is a great charity, but since I'm in NZ, I'm more likely to donate to the NZ SPCA...

No, stop looking at me with puppy-dog eyes.

(BTW, why is the Auckland SPCA bogarting the spca.org.nz domain?)

They shouldn't use guilt in advertising.. But they always do. Just like those late night commercials for donating to some childrens charity fund. Always use guilt in advertising...
